Maxillaria ctenostachya, T?^/^/^^./. {Orchideai) \ canlescens, foliis 

 sub bulbo diphyllo vaginantibus pluribus, folio surarao laminigero, foliis 

 reliquis triangulis ancipitibus carinatis, laminis ligulatis acutis, iuHores- 

 centiis distichis, squamis triangulis carinatis pluribus (13-15) inibrican-

 ternis serrnlatis a basi in basin lobi medii, ibi abrupto calloso conflueuti- 

 bus, utrinque superaddita carinula serrata abbrevitita. — A very interesting 

 species, in a morphologicnl point of view. The floriferous axes are covered 

 with imbricate carinate triangular sheaths, and thus they look like stems 

 of Lockhartias. From the axils of the sheaths arise the peduncled ex- 

 serted ilowers, which are ochre-coloured, and very like those o^ Maxillaria 

 hpidota, Lindl., belonging to the " acaules" group. Their tails are so 

 loiio- that tiiev remind one of a Brassia. Hab. Imported from Costa Rica
